Associate Professor of Art Phillip Jacks lectures on Cezanne.

Associate Professor of Art Phillip Jacks lectured on Cezanne.

Our alumni program puts together fabulous events. At the end of May, a group of us—yes, I am an alum!—were treated to a lecture and tour of the Cezanne and American Modernism exhibit at the Baltimore Museum of Art.

Associate Professor of Art Philip Jacks talked with us about Cezanne’s life and how his art bridged the generation of Impressionists and  the modern art painters of  the early 20th century by redefining the structure and principles of their art. Cezanne, apparently, was a bit of a recluse who didn’t leave a lot of materials behind, but he had an incredible influence on American artists.

It was great to gather with our alumni, including Steve Frankil, BA ’74, who recently received the GW Alumni Outstanding Service Award. If you’re in the area this summer, cool off with a tour of the Cezanne exhibit in the Baltimore Museum of Art.

Sculptures, photographs, paintings, ceramics—the new exhibit in Classroom 102 has it all!

Classroom 102—GW’s student run art gallery—opened the 2010 annual Department of Fine Arts and Art History Award Show this week, and the creative pieces by our students are as diverse and intriguing as the students themselves.

Out of 130 submissions to the show, 36 were chosen for exhibition by visiting judge Hannah Higgins, associate professor of art history at the University of Illinois. Eight student artists received awards ranging from $600 to $1,500.

The exhibit is amazing! Stop by and take a look at the work of our incredibly talented students.
